And, like your cameraphone, it’s going to sneak up on you. But one day, pretty soon, you’ll realize that you haven’t used your laptop in days. That you tend to grab your iPad first whenever you need to visit a website or answer email. That your laptop never leaves your desk anymore.

It starts tomorrow.

I think I completely agree with Amit. This is the power of disruptive innovation. They may not completely meet all your needs now. However, coupled with Moore’s law, it’s just natural that the touch interface, if not in the shape and form that Apple’s envisioned it is going to take over as soon as certain power requirements are met. :)
